Description
The Best Garden Walls and attached former Cold Bath at Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens date from the early 18th century, specifically 1733 for the cold bath.
These garden walls are made of brick and feature brick coping stones. They enclose the Best Garden on its northern, southern, and eastern sides, covering an area of about 0.7 acres. On the north wall, one of the rooms of the former cold bath can still be seen.
The walls are built in an irregular brick bond and stand approximately 3.5 meters tall, topped with curved brick coping stones. The northern section has a large opening that leads to the north garden, along with another doorway at the western end that provides access to the former cold bath. This cold bath is rectangular and leans against the north wall of the Best Garden; it is partly in ruins and lacks a roof.
The eastern wall of the Best Garden runs alongside the hall and has openings under segmental arches to the north and south of the hall, each topped with a brick pediment. The southern wall does not have any openings and extends south to connect with the rest of the garden walls.
